Mac OS: This is the operating system that runs on
Macintosh computers. It is pronounced, "mack-oh-es." The Mac OS has been
around since the first Macintosh was introduced in 1984. Since then it
has been continually updated and many new features have been added to
it. Each major OS release is signified by a new number (i.e. Mac OS 8,
Mac OS 9). Since the core of the Mac OS was nearly decades old Apple
decided to completely revamp the operating system. In March of 2001
Apple introduced a completely new version of the Mac OS that was written
from the ground up. The company dubbed it "Mac OS X," correctly
pronounced "Mac OS 10." Unlike earlier versions of the Mac OS, Mac OS X
is based on the same kernel as BSD Unix and has many advanced
administrative features and utilities. Though the operating system is
much more advanced than earlier versions of the Mac OS it still has the
same ease-of-use that people have come to expect from Apple software.

Macintosh: This is the name of the computers that are made by
Apple Computer. The first Macintosh was introduced in 1984 and was seen
as a major innovation in computing ease-of-use. The Macintosh was one of
the first personal computers to use a graphical user interface (GUI),
which allowed the user to interact with the operating system by using a
mouse to click and drag objects. Since 1984 Apple has continually
revised and upgraded the Macintosh product line and now makes both
laptop and desktop versions of the Macintosh. The Macintosh product line
includes the following five different models.

have to have that sleek new MacBook Air, or perhaps you're annoyed
by Windows 8's dueling interfaces. There's no doubt that OS X looks
and feels very different from any version of Windows. Instead of
Windows Explorer, there's a Finder. And closing apps and switching
between programs works differently. However, with a few simple tips,
you'll feel right at home in no time. - See more at: http://www.laptopmag.com/pc-to-mac-tutorial#sthash.NdnCnSfV.dpuf
